Chapter 6001: Broken Splendor City
Sky Step heaved a sigh of relief after the old manâs departure. That aura suffocated and nearly forced him to the ground.
âYoung Noble, our administration seemed to be lacking, we apologize.â Minisun bowed. If this fellow wasnât their ancestor, he was still a big shot.
âI thought you were going to find treasures.â Li Qiye wasnât bothered by the disruption.
âI gave up.â Minisun shook her head: âIn my opinion, the whole thing isnât simple. Unrivalled Monarch seems to be alive so Splendor Terra will stand. There is no need to antagonize them.â
When she came to find the best treasures, she found the monarch to be alive. Therefore, she immediately gave up and contained her greed.
âThat makes it more interesting.â Li Qiye smiled.
âMay I ask why you are here, Young Noble?â She asked.
âI want something that they just happen to have.â He responded: âLetâs go, wouldnât want someone else to get it.â
As they moved forward, they came across someone waving at them and yelling: âYoung Noble!â
The person flew over and landed before Li Qiye.
âManager, should you be here? Itâs perilous.â Minisun was surprised to see the manager of the cityâs Splendor Square.
âFellow Daoist.â The manager was surprised to see her and bowed: âIâm indeed a bit busy but since the young noble needs something, itâs my top priority.â
Having said that, he took out a box and presented it with both hands to Li Qiye: âYoung Noble, this is what you asked for, I was afraid of someone stealing it after the fall of our barrier. Please accept.â
Li Qiye opened it and saw a key - the other half of the one he found in the ruins of Radiant Longevity.
The main branch of Splendor Square was located in this area but today, it has been breached. Powerful sects and even the dynasties couldnât help themselves and wanted to take advantage of the situation.
Some believed the grand dynasties gave the order to Witch King and Sky Tree to launch an assault. Otherwise, they wouldnât have been so blatant.
âSplendor Square went down!â The group saw cultivators rushing in.
Splendor Square was a massive auction house with mighty defenses. Today, these barriers and buildings were in shambles.
âSplendor Fortress is next.â Minisun shook her head.
âIf the fortress cannot hold, then the palace is in trouble as well.â Sky Step had visited this place before and recalled how prosperous it used to be.
âPeople are already at the palace, weâll see what happens next. It doesn't look good because top emperors are making moves, Allmountain.â Minisun said.
âAllmountain Emperor of Immortal Suppression, theyâre serious.â Sky Step said.
âThe treasures here are just too tempting, just a few items in that palace are enough to drive people mad.â Minisun said.
A horn sounded and numerous stone elephants rose from the ruins of Splendor Square. They carried massive treasure troves on their back, heading deeper into the region.
âRetreat!â The remaining members of Splendor had no choice but to evacuate.
âTheyâre moving to the fortress.â Sky Step observed the stone elephants carrying huge treasuries.
âWhere do you think youâre going?!â Several mighty groups broke through the final defense and caught up to the escaping disciples.
The latter unsheathed their weapons, preparing to protect the elephants.
